Does this monti have a common name like superman, poker star....???

Looks like the poker star, although slightly bumpier.

Ha!
It's sometimes hard to see reality until someone points it out.

Sorta like what I felt when I bought a Monti from an in-state guy's propagated stock.
When Tyree came a year later, bought all the other frags .. made it `LE'. Funny, people didn't make that big a stink for it before - nor were willing to pay the other guy to get in line for an excessive price for even smaller frags.

I wouldn't call it any already-used name - if it doesn't have the genetic link. It could be the same morph - but could be a new one ... and IMO, why not have a `limited to my tank' coral? IMO, much cooler

Does anyone know the species name of this particular coral. I was under the impression that is is a danae. Someone told me the bumpd on a danae were supposed to be taller???

We've had a couple of those incidents aroudn here. Its excessively silly.

Tyree is a marketing genius though.

 

[MiddletonMark]

I guess, but it's a shame that live animals are being commodified like beanie babies or some other consumer trend.

IMO those who would love to regulate our hobby will have a field day with `LE' ... and the perception that so many hobbyists are looking for the most rare pieces for ownership, vs stewardship of same pieces.

Just FYI, the rainbow montis were being sold for the same high price even before Tyree made it a LE.

nice looking piece

 

[marine_freak]

I like it.... if you cannot name it send it to me, I'll grow it and frag it for you. When I send your frag I will even give you a certificate of authenticity..... giving some catchy wonderful name which you can tell your friends about... maybe they will want one too and before you know it you will have a leng Si Phenomena...... Just kidding! LOL, name it what you want that's part of the fun.

pdpreef: Sorry for going OT, but do you own the tang in your gallery? If yes, can I have it

 

[pdpreef]

I do own him, but he doesn't look like that anymore. : ( he had gotten very dark. I think he is going to stay ugly now.

 

[superkato]

i wouldn't care about the name, it is BEAUTIFULL!!
